date to remember....19.03.2012

Who said that if You have children nothing excited can happened to You. It is absolutely untrue. Today we are going for our first parents-teacher meeting. I am so excited.  I feel like before an exam or  an interview. Strange. But is a really nice feeling.

Today is one of those days. I have found jewellery making as a great psychotherapy for me. It helps. It keeps my mind busy on invention new forms of my jewellery. But today it did not work well. Maybe this is becoming indifferent for my frustrated spirit.

my third one must be a girl

Really I am very happy and proud mom of 2 lovely boys. I love them above all. But it is my dream to have a daughter. I think nothing can replace the MOTHER -DAUGHTER relationship. My younger son Antoni supposed to be a girl. Till 8 month of pregnancy I tought that is true. I bought plenty of dresses. I still keep them hoping that my third child will be a girl. But at the end it is not the most important.

Display idea

Conclusions
It is very important to have a nice display when You want to be observed. Even when people do not like your work they will appreciate your creativity. I spend a lot of time to find the best way to show my products. And a double time to achieve the goals. Furthermore nice wrapping, boxes (especially if you can prepare them by yourself) for your items. Business cards. Everything together - a  lot of work.

I know that I did everything what was needed.

The day after

I had a good sleep this night. I do not remember when was the last time I had slept for 8 hours.
Yesterday  I was sitting at the table for 7 hours and I streched tendon in my foot? How is it possible? Is so painful.

  

Today I see things more clearly without emotions. Maybe in more bright colours then yesterday. But I am still thinking if it was worth. Maybe?  First of all it is a new experince, it is totally sth different to exhibit your work in public then to show it anonymously on the blog. Secondly I heard also few meanigful suggestions.  And what is the most valuable that I took to on who I can relay.English proverb -" A friend in need is a friend indeed."

Back to the reality

I have just came back from the ARTE. There is a big difference between expectation and reality. I hope I will feel better tomorrow and I will see more positive sides of this what happened today. Thanks to my husband Lucas for support and for my boys- they were very good today. Special thanks for Moira for a good word, support and help on the ARTE. I can never thank her enough.

Come and have a look

Hi ,

It has been a week I was here. It  was really busy week for me. Normal daily routines and additionally preparations for the ARTE souk. Evening before. Jewelery - done, boxes and wrapping materials - done, business cards - done, display - almost done.  See You tomorrow then  (Friday 9th of March) in The ARTE souk in Times Square Mall  from 12 a.m. till 7 p.m. For more details and how to get there check on the www.arte.ae

The ARTE

I decided to show my work in public. I am going to be a vendor at the ARTE souk in Times Square next Friday. Now I am thinking what is the best way to display my jewelery. It is only 1 week to prepare everything.
